JFK

 

Honoured. Acclaimed. Controversial.

22nd November 1963. John F. Kennedy, 35th President of the United States, was shot dead. It was the day that marked the end of an era, when New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison (Kevin Costner) began what was to become an obsessive pursuit of the truth. They tried to stop him asking who. They tried to keep him from asking why. They did not succeed.
JFK - the story that won't go away. Director, co-writer, Oliver Stone has added 17 minutes of footage to the movie, lending a new excitement to the mosaic of Jim Garrison's turbulent investigation of President John F. Kennedy's murder.
